Geological landform
The geography of Arizona can be basically divided into three parts: Colorado Plateau and Alpine Arizona.
Area, desert area, the most famous geographical landscape in this state is the Grand Canyon National Park. The Colorado Plateau covers 2/5 of the state area, including the Grand Canyon, with an altitude of 1200-2400 meters and a flat surface. The Colorado River is in the northwest of this state. It cuts rock strata to form the Grand Canyon, which is as deep as 1800 meters, with stepped cliffs on both sides and magnificent scenery.

Why Arizona turns blue Although Biden has delivered a victory speech as "president-elect", the dramatic 2020 general election is far from over.
From Trump's victory to Biden's summit, these four "swing states" undoubtedly played a key role and decided the outcome: Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona.
These "swing states" are actually more inclined to * * * and the party, but in the 2020 general election, they all turned blue unexpectedly. The final official result is Arizona. 165438+1October 12, Biden officially won Arizona, which is the second time that the state has turned blue in 72 years, which can be said to be very rare.
However, similar to Georgia, the gap between the two is very small.
Before that, Georgia, which turned blue, was also a traditional "crimson state" (generally speaking, most people supported the Democratic Party). It has been 28 years since Clinton 1992 was elected as the last Democratic president.
It is precisely because of the rarity and closeness of the votes of the two presidential candidates that Trump constantly challenges the voting results. Georgia is the first to announce a recount, and Pennsylvania may also recount.
From * * * and the party's reliable ticket warehouse to the swing state where the votes are inseparable, why is there a "red to blue" that caused the election to be reversed?
Is it suspected of fraud as Trump said? At least, judging from his recent 234-page fraud testimony, this kind of "evidence" with only "oral expression" may only be recognized by the court as "Hearsay evidence" (hearsay evidence or hearsay), not evidence.

The emergence of this change is actually inseparable from Trump himself.
This election is not so much a "war" between Trump and Biden as a struggle between Trump's supporters and opponents. Trump came to power four years ago, full of controversy. The outbreak of the epidemic and the ineffective response of the Trump administration have ignited the dissatisfaction of the American people.
On the other hand, great changes have taken place in population and voter structure in recent years, that is, the proportion of young people and ethnic minorities has been increasing, and the urban population has also expanded. Correspondingly, Trump's supporters are mostly middle-aged and elderly whites and rural residents; Drawing lessons from 20 16, the adaptation and adjustment of political parties and media strategies, as well as economic recession, ethnic conflicts and many other factors have affected the election results.
In addition, some figures also played a greater role in the event of "Red State Turning to Blue". Of course, a person can't change the course of history, but he/she can make subtle deviations in the direction of the course of history through his/her own efforts.
What I want to talk about today is those special people who are crucial because of their own efforts to make a "slight deviation" in this year's general election.
To participate, to change.

Whether in Georgia or other swing States, an important reason for turning blue is the unprecedented increase in the number of voters this year. Up to now, about 6.5438+59.8 million people have voted, reaching the highest peak in the history of the US presidential election.
The increase in the number of voters is not only due to the spontaneous participation of voters, but also due to the promotion and encouragement of politicians and social groups. Among them, Stacy abrams, former minority leader of Georgia House of Representatives, has to be mentioned.
The New York Times once reported that Democrats believe that Stacy's voting rights and political network have played a great role in promoting Georgia's democratic voters to vote.
Rep PraMilla Jayapal said.
Ben Wikler, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, thinks abrams is crucial to winning Georgia.
Born in Wisconsin and raised in Mississippi, he has five brothers and sisters and his parents are priests. In Stacy's own words, "It is unusual for a little black girl from Mississippi to grow up to be the highest-ranking Democrat in Georgia and then run for governor."
Mr. and Mrs. abrams's six children have made great achievements in their respective fields, including university professors, biologists and social workers. Among them, my sister Leslie abrams was a former federal prosecutor appointed by Obama.

After graduating from Yale Law School, Stacy became a tax lawyer and then entered politics and state legislatures. At the age of 29, he was appointed deputy attorney general of Atlanta. From 20 1 1 to 20 17, he was the minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and participated in the governor election in 20 18.
At that time, she lost to * * * and Republican Brian Kemp, who was accused of violating the rules in the election and was suspected of suppressing voters, that is, preventing voters from exercising their right to vote by various means.
Especially for ethnic minorities, their names often have hyphens, suffixes or other symbols, so it is more difficult to match their names in the database.
At that time, Kemp was appointed as Secretary of State, and stopped the voter application for reasons including the security holes in the name registration and election server. More than 53,000 people were rejected, while Stacey lost to Kemp with just under 55,000 votes.
Stacy was very angry and realized that it was necessary to help those who were eligible to vote register, confirm their voter status, exercise their rights as voters and cast their votes.
"What can I do to strengthen or protect our democracy? The right to vote is the highest point of our national power. " Stacy once asked.

Therefore, she filed a lawsuit against the state government, accusing her of "gross negligence" in the process of managing the election, and set up a political group, temporarily translated as Fair Fight Action, to oppose restrictive laws, educate people how to protect their voting rights, encourage voters to vote, and supervise and ensure that all votes are accurately counted.
The group has set up a voter hotline and a voter protection group, walking around the streets and teaching people, especially college students and ethnic minorities, how to verify voter registration, how to ask for a temporary vote when voting is rejected, and so on.
The homepage of the Fair Fight Action website reads: "Democracy can only play its role if we work hard for it, fight for it and fight for it."
According to Newsweek, the organization helped 800,000 new voters to register. Under the impetus of Stacy, more and more politicians are involved in educating and encouraging voters to protect and exercise their right to vote, and more and more social groups are established. Not only in Georgia, but as we can see today, the participation rate of young people and ethnic minorities is rising.
The glory of civil rights leaders
Biden was able to "turn blue" in Georgia with a slight advantage, and Clayton County in the south of Atlanta contributed a lot.
Nearly 85% of the votes in the county went to Biden, and this is the constituency where the late Congressman John Lewis, known as the "human rights fighter" and "civil rights leader", was Trump's old enemy.
As the hometown of Lewis, to some extent, the voting result of Clayton County today is inseparable from Lewis's influence and contribution before his death.
"Dear Lewis' hometown, Clayton voters, let Biden take the lead in Georgia."
What a' trouble', tears of joy from heaven. "
/kloc-Lewis died in July, 0/8, and major foreign news websites and social media mourned and occupied the front page headlines. As a Democrat, Lewis served as a representative in Georgia's fifth congressional district for more than 30 years. For decades, he has been committed to fighting for civil rights and carrying out non-violent struggles, which is called "the conscience of Congress".
For Trump, Lewis's attitude is quite contemptuous. He believes that Trump is a racist and has repeatedly publicly attacked Trump. Therefore, he is also known as Trump's "famous enemy".
Before Trump took office, Lewis denied that he was a "legitimate president" and announced that he would not attend the inauguration ceremony.
After Lewis's death, Trump refused to pay tribute to him when the society was in mourning and nostalgia. In sharp contrast, George W. Bush, who also did not attend the inauguration ceremony, still attended Lewis's funeral and paid tribute to him.
When asked about Lewis in an interview, Trump said, "He is a man who has invested a lot of energy and brains in civil rights, but so are many others." Obviously, Trump always bears a grudge, which also makes Lewis's followers feel quite angry.
Because for Americans, especially people of color, Lewis is a lighthouse.
In 1960s, he joined the civil rights movement together with Martin Luther King, the leader of American black civil rights movement, and was the last living Martin Luther King civil rights movement speaker. As a follower and activist, like Martin Luther King, Lewis resorted to organized protests and sit-ins in the face of injustice.
196 1 year, in order to integrate the facilities of the interstate bus terminal, Lewis came to Washington with a group of "free riders". On the way, he was beaten to death until he was unconscious. He was immediately sentenced to prison and sent to the notorious Pachman Farm in Mississippi. However, in the autumn of the same year, the movement achieved results: all interstate travel facilities were obtained.
In his struggle career, one of the most far-reaching events was the demonstration at Edmund Peters Bridge. There, he and the marchers were attacked by heavily armed police, and Lewis's skull was smashed with batons, which was called "bloody Sunday" in history.
The beating of Luis aroused the social support of 1965 to sign the voting rights bill, and also prompted President lyndon johnson to take action on civil rights legislation.
Violence did not make Lewis back down, but took a step forward politically. 198 1 year, Lewis was elected as a member of the Atlanta City Council. Six years later, he was elected as a member of parliament, and devoted himself to eliminating poverty and helping the younger generation by improving education and medical care.
Lewis has a far-reaching influence on the United States, especially today when racial conflicts are still intensifying. The afterglow of civil rights leaders still illuminates the way forward for a generation.
Only unity can bridge the rift.
Some people say that two "Johnsons" contributed to the blue flip, that is, John Lewis in Georgia mentioned above, while the blue flip in Arizona was attributed to the late senator, veteran and Republican John McCain.
He is called "the most popular son in Arizona". As Obama's former presidential rival, our readers may be familiar with the profound contradiction and confrontation between McCain and Trump.
Before 20 18 died of brain cancer, McCain, as a party member, had always opposed Trump-he had asked for a thorough investigation of the "TongRumen", criticized Trump's immigration policy and opposed Trump's medical reform draft.
Mccain (right) has always been an important figure in * * *, and the party is against Trump.
Even the last sentence left behind secretly attacked Trump-"When we confuse patriotism with tribal competition and sow the seeds of anger, hatred and violence in every corner of the world, we weaken our greatness."
After his death, Trump extended condolences to McCain's family, but did not mention McCain at all; The White House lowered the flag at half mast and rose in less than a day-the requirement was to lower it for 48 hours.
Similar to the attitude towards Lewis, McCain's political opponents Obama and George W. Bush delivered eulogies at the funeral, expressing their deep condolences. In the end, in the face of sharp public criticism, Trump was forced to resume flying the flag at half-mast, and issued a formal statement, saying that he "respected McCain's contribution to the country".
After her husband died, McCain's wife, cindy McCain, remained firmly opposed to Trump. In this election, she voted for Biden, endorsed Biden and campaigned to attract Arizona votes.
"I know that the best thing for our country is not our party, but Biden."
In the end, Biden won the crimson state of Arizona by 65438+8000 votes.
After the election, this is only the beginning for the United States, where conflicts have intensified and factions have torn apart. Trump does not recognize the election results, and his fanatical supporters are taking to the streets with weapons. The conflict is far from over.
However, under Biden's leadership, in this increasingly divided United States, which emphasizes "partisan loyalty", can national interests really cross the partisan divide?
